"We love riding around here in Palisade,” Chamber Director Juliann Adams said. “We have great scenery with the fruit and wine byway and so we're hoping to combine that aspect of the festival to bring people out here... And start bringing their bikes out here"

The Palisade Brewing Company will be highlighted at the free street dance tonight and 3rd Street will be shut down.Tomorrow the festivities will start with the bike ride at 8 a.m. and the festival will officially open at 11 a.m. Drinking tickets cost $25 and come with a free mug.“Palisade's a great place to have a festival,” Adams said. “It's a small town, we love having festivals and we love having the visitors. Tomorrow is supposed to be a gorgeous day so come on out."
